... More Living Dayton Stories Lily’s Bistro Tiki Nights by Zac Pitts / Aug 12, 2020. I said I thought it was safe now. While I was waiting the Tornado hit the shopping Center and sucked me out of the building. It leveled several of the brick homes in that neighborhood. I say to my friends, “I see lightning, but there is no thunder, no rain, no nothing. We turn on the TV to Channel 7 and we see Bill Randby, Chief Meteorologist, who said that there was a confirmed tornado within city limits. I was living in a mobile home park in Omaha right up the street from Zorinsky Lake ( always had a killer view!). She had burrowed under that concrete slab to take cover. Ironically, their mobile home wasn't touched but their truck was and both of them perished together. I told myself everything would be OK. Then just as suddenly as it had come, the noise was gone; except for a dull roar and the rumbling of lightning moving northeast, like the sound of a big truck with no muffler, driving away at two miles per hour. At about 5 pm, I started hearing about a storm system off to the west. That number is second only to the 300,000-plus men, women and children in the pews in Texas. Another had hit our roof, damaged our gutter and soffit and cartwheeled over the roof to the back yard. My uncle was there for days but he was released and is still going strong today.Fast forward to November 11 2002, Mossy Grove, TN.
These accounts have not been verified. I woke up one hour and a half later in a field a 1/4 mile away from the house with cuts to my body and a deep cut to my head and covered in blood dirt and grass. I was watching the news. The tornado was classified two days later as an EF-1 tornado. Uncle Mike didn’t hide, he ran, to help his neighbors.“I seen my next door neighbor walking down the path and he was running and shining his flashlight,” explained Uncle Mike.“She got thrown to the next trailer,” says Uncle Mike.One search, then another, Uncle Mike fought the elements. It had held. There was vivid and continuous lightning, the sounds of the winds increased quite a bit, and we heard thumping on the back decks, the north side of the house, and big thumps in the front and above us. I look out and all I see is lightening. They hadn't seen any storms on their maps and clearly thought me demented.I called my brother who lived nearby. The assessor thinks we need to tear off and replace our siding, but we have the option to have a building inspector validate his findings. Numerous other branches were on our deck and littering our yard. My car, parked outside, was bent and hammered mercilessly, yet all the glass survived; while the rear end of the same neighbor's car was hammered only lightly, as it was inside their garage and the hail had only come in through the windows of the garage door; but both tail lights and the back window were broken out.Two weeks later, if I recall correctly, KOA -the local radio station- acknowledged with chagrin that they had missed the storm entirely. The mobile home stopped shaking. I called KOA news to find out whether more storms were expected. I wrapped up the game for the night when my sister’s friend informed us of a tornado warning. We could sense the winds inside the bathroom with noticeable pressure waves that matched the gusts and there was a noticeable breeze from the door as the pressure equalized between the house and the outside through the exhaust vent in the ½ bath.
Our next door neighbor had a double trunked maple tree split in two and fall into her home.
I went back out to the shop the next day and just cried seeing where I had crawled out from the broken pieces of the toilet under where I laid. Thankfully we made it safely and spent part of the night at the hospital. Some of my friends almost died because large trees fell.
